Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Gundam Wing: The Next Generation ❯ Heero and Relena ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or any of its characters. (Well DUH!) However, I do own the characters I have made up and the plot of this story. You want to sue me? Think about it, I'm writing fanfiction, not books, therefore I make no money. I have two cents to my name. Still thinking about suing me?

A/N: Hello all! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'll try to update quicker next time. Thank you to those of you who reviewed the last chapter of my story. This chapter has more Heero and Relena in it. Next chapter is when I'll really get into the Heero and Relena part, but don't worry, it won't be a lemon or even close to a lemon. Please R&R! Thanx!

Gundam Wing: The Next Generation

Part 6- Heero and Relena

"I'm not afraid to die." Heero said, making sure Relena was behind him.

"Well that's good." Whitener responded. "Because your about to." Whitener aimed the gun at Heero's heart and pulled the trigger.

"No!!!" Relena yelled, flinging herself in front of Heero. Heero watched in horror as the bullet ripped through Relena's chest.

"Noooooo!" He yelled, a feeling of dread filling him. He launched himself at Whitener and grabbed his gun. Whitener's face held a brief look of surprise before Heero shot him through the heart.

"Father!" Captain Brooks yelled. He looked down at Whitener, then at Heero. He pointed his gun at him, his eyes filled with sadness mixed with fury. He was about to pull the trigger when Trowa jumped down from above and knocked him out.

"Get help!" Heero yelled o Trowa.

"Right." Trowa headed out. All the soldiers ran out of the room to try and find help, not believing what they saw. Heero ran to Relena's fallen figure and pulled her up into his lap.

"Why'd you do that?" He asked, not able to come up with anything better to say. 'How could you do that Yuy?! You just let the one person you care about get shot!' Heero thought to himself.

"I couldn't let you die for me." She said. Then she took the dog tags from around her neck and hung them around Heero's. "I'm glad I get to give these back to you. Here, I have something else for you." She slipped her ring off a little finger and hung it on the chain with Heero's dog tags. "My father gave it to me when I was little. I want you to have now that I'm gone."

"You're not gone Relena. You're going to be okay. You have to be okay. Peace can't survive without you." He said, trying to keep her awake.

"Is…that…all…I am…to…you?" She asked, getting weaker.

"No Relena, you're much more to me." He replied, keeping his voice as emotionless as possible. Then he leaned down and gently kissed her on the forehead.

Relena gave a small smile. "Good. Now…I…can die…happy." She said, then passed out.

"Relena! Relena! You have to stay awake!" Heero started to yell at her. Luckily, Sally Po came running in with Trowa at that moment. Her heart sank when she saw Heero sitting with Relena in his lap, both of them covered in her blood. Heero looked up at Sally and she saw all of the pain in his eyes.

"Heero, there's no doctors at this base. We'll have to get her in my carrier and fly her to the nearest hospital. It's not that far away." Sally leaned down and felt for Relena's pulse. It was faint, but it was there. "We have to hurry." She said. Heero nodded and carried Relena out to the carrier. Sally yelled the name of the hospital to the others. Then her and Heero, carrying Relena, flew off.

******************************************************************* *****

Quatre, Trowa, Duo, and Wufei walked into the hospital waiting room. They looked over at Heero who had his head in his hands. His face clearly showed all of the pain that her was in. He wasn't crying, but he looked miserable. Duo looked at the other three. They nodded and walked out. Duo walked over to Heero.

"Hey Heero buddy." He said quietly. Heero heard his voice and tried to make his face emotionless once again.

"It's my fault." He muttered.

"No it's not." Duo put a comforting hand on his best friend's shoulder.

"Yeah it is. I should've protected her better. Now she may die. And it's all because of me." His voice almost cracked.

"You couldn't do anything, Heero." Duo said, putting his head in his hands too. "What did the doctor say?" He saw Heero flinch and knew he shouldn't have asked.

"He said it doesn't look good." Heero felt a lump in his throat but he pushed it away. The other pilots, Noin, and Milliardo walked in.

"Where's my sister?!" Milliardo demanded. "Yuy! I thought you would protect her better! Not let her get shot! What a pathetic job you did." He took his anger out on Heero. Noin pulled Milliardo off to the side and slapped him across the face.

"WHAT was THAT for?!" He yelled, surprised.

"Heero did his very best to protect Relena. He was prepared to die for her but she jumped in front of the bullet meant for him. I guarantee he is suffering more than anyone else here! Even more than you! So be more considerate of him!" She finally finished. Milliardo stared at her surprised.

"I guess you're right." He sighed, pulling Noin into a hug.

******************************************************************* *****

Soon everyone was in the waiting room, including Catherine, Dorothy, Hilde, and Trowa's new co-worker from the circus, Clara. Clara had bright green eyes and black hair that came to the middle of her back. Suddenly, Heero jumped up out of his chair. Everyone turned to look at what had caused him to get up. Their eyes met with the doctor and Sally.

"How is she?" Heero asked.

"She lost a lot of blood but she should be better within a couple of months. She can probably leave here in a few weeks. That's a probably. We're not absolutely sure yet. The bullet came so close to killing her. It skinned up against her heart. She got lucky. She came so close to death. Must've had a guardian angel watching over her." The doctor walked out, shaking his head.

****************************************************************** ******

**Two weeks later**

Everyone was crowded into Relena's small hospital room. They all looked at the door as the doctor walked in.

"I've got good news. Mrs. Darlian can go home this afternoon. That is, if you feel up to it." He said looking at Relena. Everyone one let out a long sigh of relief. Relena nodded, wanting nothing more than to go home. The doctor started again. "She won't be able to do much. She'll need to stay in bed and rest for a while. No lifting anything heavier than a pen. And no meetings of any kind. She'll probably need help. Other than that there's nothing else I can think of." The doctor walked out.

"You'll come back to the Sanc Kingdom with me and Noin." Milliardo said to Relena.

"No offense, but I want to go home. I haven't been home in so long. I stayed with you in the Sanc Kingdom for three months, one month in a cold, dark cell, and two weeks in here. I want to go home." Relena answered.

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? You need someone with you to help you, not to mention protect you." Milliardo shot back. Relena was about to say she could take care of herself, but Heero broke in.

"I'll stay with Relena." Everyone turned at Prussian blue-eyed man that was sitting nest to Relena's bed.

"Over my dead body!" Milliardo yelled at him.

"I can arrange that." Heero said, calmly standing up and pointing his gun at Milliardo. Noin quickly stood up and pulled Milliardo back into his seat. Relena reached up with one hand and put it on Heero's hand that held the gun. Heero looked at her and put the gun away, then began arguing with Milliardo again.

"I'll never let you stay with my sister!"

"It'll be for the best. I can help her out and protect her."

"Just like the last time!" Heero almost cringed at the words. Relena saw that Milliardo had hurt Heero and decided to step in.

"That's enough, Milliardo!!! I trust Heero with my life and I think he manage to take care of me for a month or so."

"Well I don't think so! He's obviously not very good in the protecting area!" Milliardo saw Noin out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head a little and looked her. She glared at him, making him reconsider. "Fine then, if that's what you want." He said to Relena, still looking at the glaring Noin. "But if anything goes wrong you're gone, Yuy, and Relena comes to stay with me and Noin." Heero nodded and with that everyone got ready to go home.

****************************************************************** ******

"Welcome home, Ms. Relena." Paigan said as he opened the door.

"Thank you Paigan."

"Here, allow me to get that." Paigan reached for Relena's bag that Heero was carrying.

"I have it." He growled, pulling it back.

"Heero, it's okay. Paigan is here to help." Relena said, almost laughing. Heero reluctantly handed the bag to Paigan.

"C'mon, let's get you settled into a room."

***************************************************************** *******

**One month later**

Heero walked up the stairs to go to bed. It was late and h e was extremely tired. Before he went to his room he stopped at Relena's to check on her. For the past week she had fallen asleep either watching TV or reading. Every night he would go in her room, cover her up, and turn off the TV or put up her book. He listened at the door and couldn't here the TV. 'Must be asleep.' He thought. Then he opened the door, not bothering to knock this time, and went in. He scanned the dark room but didn't see Relena. Noticing that the balcony door was slightly open, he walked out onto the balcony. Standing there, looking up at the sky was Relena, bathed in silvery moonlight.

"You shouldn't be out here alone."

Relena jumped, leaning out over the balcony's railing. Heero's arms shot out and caught her, pulling her close to him.

"What'd you say?" She asked, still surprised to find Heero on her balcony.

"I said, you shouldn't be out here alone."

"Why not?"

"It's not safe. Someone could shoot you or kidnap you again. Then we would all worry about you again."

"Do you worry about me Heero?" Relena asked, hopeful after he had said 'we would all worry about you.'

"Of course. Without you, peace would be gone." Heero instantly regretted what he said. Relena bowed her head down.

"So I am just a symbol of peace to you." She said, her head still down. The answer she got, she didn't expect. Heero tilted her face up towards his, leaned in, and kissed her.
